At 16:00, give 'r take, Newfoundland time, today,
Allison began sessions to create her next album, "This Little
Bird". For this recording, Alley has relocated to Corner
Brook, NL - from her west-coast Pacific island home, to a new nest on
the Atlantic side of the continent. As she sings in the album's title
song, "same idea, different sea".

Alley
will be joined in this creative process on "the rock" by life-long musicians,
multi-instrumentalists and recording pros, Mike McDonald and Louis
McDonald. Of the brothers, Canada's Juno-winning troubador, David
Francey, has noted: "You rarely meet people so steeped in music -
at all its levels and aspects - as these two and would be hard pressed
to meet more accomplished musicians."

Vocals and
piano tracks are being recorded at Gitanos' ~ one of the finest venues
on Canada's east coast. A supper club in the tradition of 1940s New
York and Montreal, Gitanos' was designed by Newfoundlander Donna
Thistle, inspired by the idea of gypsy travelers "who select ideas
and goods from various cultures and redistribute them in other, often
remote, communities."

In the spirit of the Beatles and
the Be Sharps (Homer Simpson's fab combo), Alley is ready to shoot the
moon.
